Jess Philips is another MP that I think is worth listening to.

I'm not terribly keen on him.
Mhairi Black (SNP) is definitely a rising star though. When she became an MP at the age of 21 she was the youngest to be elected. Intelligent and direct, I like her a lot.

Yet another broken Johnson/Tory promise if this leak is to be believed. They really are the lowest of the low but at least Putin will approve.

Seems a reasonable response, bearing in mind the recent interim Cass report. Ban out and out gay conversion therapy, as often done by religious groups, but don't ban talk therapy for gender dysphoric kids.

Seems like divide and conquer to me.

And the night before that MP made his revelation Boris had a laugh at trans people.

I'm not sure what you mean by divide and conquer. I think it's a sensible decision. It was a muddled bill, rushed along without enough consultation, and without even defining what key terms like 'conversion therapy' and 'gender identity' meant. A blanket ban could have had the effect of closing the door on exploratory therapy for children with body dysphoria. This needs much further discussion before being enshrined in legislation.

Welcome yourself into the new modern crisis
In case anybody is in any doubt whatsoever about how the Tory party and its associates view trans issues here's the wife of a cabinet minister using the suffering of women in an actual war zone to wage a culture war and make cheap party political points.

Vine and Gove are getting divorced apparently. Even so, married women are allowed to hold their own opinions and are not necessarily simply mouth pieces for their husbands.
